Olayami Dabls’ African Bead Gallery & Museum

DABL'S 1

Thought this was an odd image until I found out that it’s a cool strange oddity. Dabl’s African Bead Gallery exists. In Detroit.

“Olayami Dabls–esteemed fine-artist, museum curator, and historian, has lectured extensively on African Material Culture to international audiences for over 30 years. As a curator, Dabls is a founding member of the African American Sports Hall of Fame, housed in the Wayne county building. He was also Artist-in-Residence at the Museum of African American History (1973-1982) as well as at the Detroit Psychiatric Institute (1985-1989). Dabls has served as Executive Director for the Rosa Parks Arts Center (1982-1984) as well as produced and hosted a radio program on WNEC4 (1978-1981).
In 1983 Dabls and his wife opened Dabls Perette’s Gallery, to great acclaim and the gallery has thus become known all over the African world. He has received numerous awards and has been featured in articles in every Detroit newspaper outlet.”

Saturday Matinee – Bunk Struttin’ With Some Barbecue

Here’s Louis Armstrong from1953, “Struttin’ With Some Barbecue.” He recorded the song in 1927 with his first band, The Hot Five. (If that link don’t shine, try this.)

Ray McKinley with Bobby Nichols (cornet) and Lennie Hambro (clarinet) circa 1960.

Pete Fountain has his own take, too.

The Marsalis Family did their own take of the classic, circa 2009.

That should do for now. Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll be back here tomorrow whether you like it or not.
